I disagree. I mean, I know we've overpaid for vets plenty of times, but I think we're linked to him because we had one of, if not the worst WR corps over the past few seasons, and one of the biggest pieces missing from that is a big, possession receiver who can be a legit red zone threat.
Can Plaxico ever be those things again? Possibly. 2 years in prison will change a man. Maybe he comes out a man possessed and looks great for a few years. I wouldn't hate it if we gave him a shot (no pun intended), but I'm not sure. If we do sign him, I hope we don't assume he's going to solve problems for us in the receiving game.
